Maeve was asleep, Rio was awake. She was watching Maeve making sure she was still there, still alive.
"Agatha harkness... find her... find her" Maeve shot up, her eyes widening.
"Hey what's wrong?" Rio whispered, as she joined Maeve's side.
"They're coming. We have to go" Lilia shouted, also waking up.
Maeve looked to Lilia, her heart still pounding.
"What?" Alice and Jen slowly woke up.
"The summoning spell. We left the door open" Lilia panicked.
"What are you talking about? What did you see?" Alice asked Lilia.
"The Salem seven" Maeve whispered making everyone turn to her.
"Scary black dresses?" Teen asked.
Lilia nodded, Maeve just stood her heart still pounding, she felt a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"It'll be okay calm down my love" Rio whispered into Maeve's ear.
"When Agatha killed her original coven" Lilia started making Maeve tense up.
"By stealing their powers" Jen added.
"Because her own mother tried to have her executed" Rio defended Agatha, her eyes landing on the tensed up Maeve, making Maeve shoot her a small smile, appreciatively.
"Are you really defending a noted serial killer, you creepy lurker?" Jen shot at Rio, making Maeve step towards her.
"Excuse you!" Maeve started, making Rio smirk.
"Come on! Someone finish the story." Alice shouted interrupting Maeve from arguing.
"When Agatha murdered her sister witches, she spared their young children" Lilia said.
"Yeah and then they became feral, hive-minded coven bent on revenge" Rio finished making Maeve stare at her.
She put her hands up surrendering jokingly, Maeve chuckled at her action.
"Woah.." Agatha shouted running towards the coven. "The moral of the story, kids, is always finish what you started." Agatha panicked grabbing her coat, "also mercy is overrated." She added on making Maeve chuckle. "All right everybody. Pack up your shit! Let's go." Agatha whipped her coat, running away, everyone ran after her, Rio making sure Maeve had ran before she started to.

While they were running they heard a wolf howl, they knew what this meant, they were stuck.
Rio grabbed Maeve, her arm wrapping around her waist, her other hand grabbing her Dagger.
"What about a hexenbesen?" Teen suggested, everyone disagreed, their panicked voices shouting no.
"Yeah!.. yes!" Rio pointed at the teen, making Maeve shake her head and chuckle at her.
"Well if you're all too cool for a practical means of escape." The Salem seven screeches were closer.
"No! Brooms are great!" Everyone shouted, walking to the mud walls around them, grabbing a log off it.
Maeve grabbed some flowers from around her, tying them to the broom, smiling at Rio when she noticed, rios mouth formed a not very noticeable smile.
Rio had tied some lilacs to the end. Maeve smiled at her too.
Agatha and teen helped each other, Lilia and Jen. Leaving Alice. Maeve was quick to notice.
"Hey. You can ride with me" she smiled, Alice thanked her and everyone took off.
"Whoooo" Rio screamed, Maeve looked at her laughing before taking off too.
"Wait how do I do this!" Teen shouted as Agatha took off.
"Keep up teen" Agatha shouted back.

"We've got to get off the road!" Alice shouted from behind Maeve, after hearing the Salem seven screeching.
"Move people!" Agatha shouted back.
Everyone titled their brooms up, lifting up into the dark sky.
The view was refreshing, the air cold on their warm skin.
"Hey." Alice whispered. "She is SO in love with you" Alice nodded her head towards Rio, whose eyes were locked on Maeve.
Maeve didn't reply, her eyes locked onto rios, they couldn't.. they wouldn't take their eyes off eachother wanting this moment to last forever.
They were cut off by teen shouting. "Why haven't we done this all along!"
When they were all suddenly tilted downwards, flipped upside down.
Alice gripped onto Maeve's waist, holding on the best she could.
"What.. what's going on!" Lilia exclaimed.
"It's the road. It's forcing us down!" Agatha replied.
Once they were back on the road, their brooms still flying. They looked into the distance and saw a new house.
"The next trial!" Teen shouted.
They were approaching the new trial fast, until they saw a figure in the way, making them crash onto the floor, they had no time to recover, so they just ran into the house.
Once they calmed down they took in their surroundings.
"We're okay"Agatha sighed.
"No we're not!" Jen shouted, "the entire Halloween aisles outside waiting for us"
"And it doesn't look like the can get in. Does it!" Agatha argued. "So all we have to do is complete the trial and continue on before they reach us, okay?" Agatha fiddled with her hair, everyone was looking at her.
Maeve focused on rio.
"How? Kiss marry kill?" Alice complained about her outfit, making everyone realise they had once again changed.
"My spell book. I can't find it." Teen started to worry, as he searched his clothes.
"Where'd you have it the last time?" Lilia asked.
"Flying on a broom." He sighed.
"Forget it. You can take the training wheels off" Agatha stopped teen from talking.
Everyone looked around trying to find a clue.
"Whose trial is this?" Teen asked.
"Agathas." Maeve was quick to reply, her eyes hadn't moved from Rio.
"How do you know?" Teen walked up to Maeve but Lilia interrupted.
"A blood moon. When the veil between the living and the dead is as its thinnest"
"Wait I thought talking to the dead was your department."
Maeve walked away from the group, exploring the familiar cabin. Her gaze rested upon a familiar room. Her eyes filling with tears.
"It's okay my love" Rios hands soothed Maeve's back.
"Yeah." Maeve walked away from her touch, walking back to the coven.
